I'm sorry you are having problems with your vehicle. I will try to help.I'm a full time mechanic and have been a mechanic for over 20 yrs and I work part-time here on JustAnswer to help you and others repair their own vehicles, and I get credited by your ratings.. So before leaving the site make sure and leave me a rating. You can still reply to me as many times as neeed, even after the rating.. I will need for you to be my hands and eyes since I'm not there.So what has happened is the shifter cable has come loose from the lever on the transmission. You need to crawl under and reattach it. It just presses on. This will just allow you to shift once or twice before it falls off again. You need to replace the bushing in the cable. Make sure to set the ebrake before crawling under it.I strive to provide 5 star service. If I have satisfactorily answered your question please rate it as such and hit submit.
